Neshoba County Fair 2011 (again)


Nope, we're not finished yet!  Just a little intermission...Let's get back to the Fair shall we.

Day Six: Thursday July 28
We're so excited still!  We woke up at 5am today!  We were just too excited to see our friend Lucien Smith's speech.  He was running for Treasurer. After playing and our early morning nap, we headed down to the pavilion for some political speaking.  But after working the crowd for Lucien, Emerson was worn out.  Daddy and Emerson went back to the cabin for a little break while Mommy stayed for the rest of the candidates and our current Governor's last speech (Haley Barbour). 
After the speeches, our nap, and lunch; we decided to go ride our first ride.  Ellington and Pops went with us and everyone had a blast riding the carousel and the bumble bee.  Emerson got to ride a horsey on the carousel and held on tight even though Mommy was standing with him.  We just loved going up, down, and around and we were so sad when it stopped!  Daddy took Emerson on the Bumble Bee and we has never been so high before!
After the rides, we all decided to take a trek through the Petting Barn.  Emerson loved the goats!  He wanted to climb into the pen with them, but we're sure the goats wouldn't have liked Emerson trying to bite their tails!
To add to the excitement we went for our first stroll up the the new section to see the rebuilt cabins (an still to be rebuilt cabins) from the Great Fire of 2011.
After such an exciting time, it was time to eat supper and go to bed for the night.
